Anyway, it's like throwing meat buns at a dog, which will never come back. She will not give Yun Fei anything good.
Ling'er was smart enough to choose an ordinary headpiece she bought from Jinlou. The style was not very new.
The master and servant got on the carriage and headed straight for the Spring and Autumn Hall in the imperial palace.
This banquet was hosted jointly by Concubine De and Concubine Yun, with the purpose of selecting talented noble ladies to work in various departments and palaces in the harem.
There was an unwritten rule in the prosperous dynasty that any noble lady who had served in any of the harem's offices would receive a noble lady medal when she left the palace.
As long as one can possess this medal, all the noble families will rush to propose marriage.
Because it is the glory of a woman's life!
All the women who had graduated from the Noble Ladies Academy wanted to have such an opportunity, so they all came to the banquet with their talents.
Logically speaking, Lin Yiwan should not be invited to such a banquet, after all, she has never attended the Noble Ladies' Academy.
But she still received the post, which stated that she had to get it, otherwise it would be a blatant disrespect to the royal family.
When she brought Ling'er to the main hall, she saw many noble ladies ready to show off their talents.
Concubine De smiled and said, "The first person to be selected is the first-rank female official of the Weaving Department. Please present all your embroidery works!"
Several noble ladies came forward one after another and respectfully presented their embroidery works to Concubine De with her chin held high.
She squinted her eyes and praised, "They're all really good, especially this peony painting. It's actually embroidered on both sides."
The noblewoman lowered her eyes shyly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Her Majesty the Virtuous. When I was young, I once visited the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau and saw a teacher with this unique skill, so I hired her to teach us at home!"
Concubine De immediately announced, "The first-rank female official in the Zhisi Palace is Miss Liu Ruyan from the Ministry of Revenue's residence!"
Amidst the envious and jealous eyes of the crowd, Liu Ruyan hurriedly stepped forward to bow and express her gratitude.
Concubine Yun, who was sitting next to her, cast a charming glance at Lin Yiwan. "Madam Hou, since you are a noble lady in the capital, I'm sure your embroidery skills are also very impressive, right?"
Lin Yiwan frowned, this Concubine Yun was really going to make trouble again.
She said inconspicuously, "I'm not very good at embroidery. I'm only good at silver needle techniques. Concubine Yun should know this very well!"
Yun Fei's face suddenly froze, and her mind immediately remembered the pain when she had been pricked by the silver needle to wake herself up.
She said sheepishly, "Yes, your silver needle technique is indeed amazing!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the tea at hand accidentally spilled.
She said without hesitation: "Madam Hou, could you please pour me another cup of tea?"
Lin Yiwan pointed at herself blankly and said, "Empress Yun asked me to pour you tea?"
Concubine Yun nodded without hesitation: "Yes, don't you want to?"
Lin Yiwan said indifferently, "I recently injured my wrist and can't use any force. Don't you have a maid by your side? Just ask her to pour you some tea!"
Concubine Yun frowned and asked, "Marquis, do you not take me seriously at all? I just asked you to pour a cup of tea, how serious can it be? In my opinion, you, the Marquis of Zhan Yi's mansion, are deliberately disrespecting me, the princess who is being married off to a foreign country!"
Her sudden attack caused all the noble ladies present to change expression suddenly.
I have to say, this sentence is already very unpleasant to hear.
Lin Yiwan represents the entire Zhan Yihou Mansion. If word gets out that she is disrespectful to Concubine Yun, it will inevitably cause disputes between the two countries.
It seems that she has to pour this tea.
As expected, Concubine De was the first to speak: "Madam, isn't it just pouring a cup of tea? How tiring can it be? If unnecessary rumors are caused because of such a small matter, it will be bad!"
Lin Yiwan explained calmly, "Reporting to Her Majesty Defei, it's not that I don't want to pour tea for Her Majesty Yunfei. It's just that my wrist hurts so much that I'm worried I can't hold it steady. It would be terrible if I burn her!"
Concubine Yun was desperate to drink her bowl of tea. She blurted out: "I am not afraid of heat, just pour it!"
Lin Yiwan glanced at her, then stood up and walked to her side.
Concubine Yun proudly stretched out her fingers and tapped the edge of the teapot, with a hint of provocation on her proud little face.
Lin Yiwan picked up the teapot, filled it with tea, and held it in front of her with both hands: "Empress Yun, please have some tea!"
Concubine Yun smiled and said, "Your hands are so steady, the tea doesn't move at all, it won't spill at all!"
A cold light flashed in Lin Yiwan's eyes. Without hesitation, she raised her hand, picked up the tea and poured it directly on Yun Fei's face.
"Ah!" Yun Fei subconsciously covered her face and let out a shrill scream.
She hissed and shouted, "Lin Yiwan, you are so bold! You actually dared to splash water on my face in public!"
Lin Yiwan looked completely innocent. She turned to look at everyone and said, "You all have to bear witness for me. I already said my hands were shaking, but she forced me to pour her tea!"
Everyone lowered their eyes and dared not say a word. She looked at Concubine De again: "Your Majesty, you can't just stand by and watch someone die. It was you who used the relationship between the two countries to force me to pour tea for Concubine Yun with my injured hand!"
Defei's face was pale and blue. She was the one who forced her to do it. She just wanted to humiliate Lin Yiwan, but she didn't expect that this bitch would dare to splash water on Yunfei's face.
She is so brave!
She said awkwardly: "Anyone can see that you splashed it on purpose. Wouldn't it spill all over if your hands were shaking?"
Lin Yiwan immediately said aggrievedly: "See, I told you that you are deliberately making things difficult for me. I will go to the emperor to reason with him!"
Seeing that she was about to leave, Concubine Yun hurriedly stopped her: "Stop, I don't blame you for anything. Who asked you to leave? This cup of tea doesn't count. Pour me another cup!"
Not only was Lin Yiwan stunned, but even Concubine De was a little surprised. What was Concubine Yun doing?
Didn’t we agree beforehand to humiliate Lin Yiwan?
Why didn't she seize the opportunity and even let her pour a second bowl?
Is she out of her mind?
Just as she was doubting it, Lin Yiwan had already poured a second bowl of tea. She said apologetically, "Although I don't understand why Concubine Yun is so lenient with me this time, I'm very grateful that you gave me a chance. I'll serve you this cup of tea!"
Yun Fei took it without hesitation and took a big sip.
She put the tea bowl aside and said, "Let's continue selecting female officials. Which department is next?"
Concubine De concealed the coldness in her eyes and replied, "Dancing Master, please prepare to perform on stage, ladies!"
Soon, several noble ladies came up slowly, holding up their dance skirts.
Their graceful dancing drew constant applause from the crowd.
However, Yun Fei was obviously uneasy, and suddenly, her body fell heavily to the ground.
"Bang!" She fell to the ground, and faint black blood kept coming out of her mouth.
Cui'er's expression suddenly changed. She rushed to her and asked loudly, "My Lady, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me. Speak quickly!"
